I have a pretty successful deck that used to run all 4. When the meta was slower, it was possible, but difficult. In the RIX meta, it takes more consistency and requires card advantage. Check out Control the Treasure-Control I have tried a ton of things over the past few months with different levels of success.

I'd recommend using Gleaming Barrier over Wily Goblin for an early game option. It'll slow them down more giving you more time to setup and counter the early plays also it's not double red so it a guaranteed to come out turn 2 on. Instead of Deadeye Plunderers ,
Spell Swindle
, Prosperous Pirates , or even another Contract Killing will do you more good than the Deadeye Plunderers.(his lack of evasion is very saddening, they shoulda made like a pay 4 give him flying instead of treasures).

I thank you for your suggestion. I put the Deadeye Plunderers in here because with Anointed Procession I can make two Treasures for four mana and make it huge, but after playtesting it was too slow. I agree with you and have to admit that i didn't even think of Mist-Cloaked Herald. However, since this is not a merfolk deck, Slither Blade would be a little better just because of the extra toughness. I have Looked At your deck before and its defiantly a good deck.

I like what you have going here. I have been highly invested in the art of treasure decks for while now and have a pretty solid deck Control the Treasure-Control.

If I may make a small suggestion, I really like the idea of Prying Blade but it needs a consistent target to really work. Mist-Cloaked Herald would slot into this deck and all but guarantee production. Deadeye Plunderers on the other hand, is a card that stops a lot of treasure decks from taking off in competitive standard. As attractive as it seems, it falls short on immediately effecting board state. Tier 1 and 2 top curve is likely devestating, while this 5 drop guarantees a 3/3 creature and nothing more. The IF isnt likely to get you anywhere as the opponent Will likely handle it before it becomes a real threat.The herald/prying blade combo may be worth taking a look at in that slot. Cheers +1 for sure.

I love that your working on the treasure possibilities. I have been working it for quite awhile. Immediate suggestions from Looking this over. Deadeye Plunderers are an IF trap. They slow down an already top heavy deck and take up valuable space in the deck. I know the IF is attractive, but it is to inconsistent to be competitive. I would recommend using those open spaces for some low cost counters, card draw, filtering, or board control. Metallic RebukeFatal Push, Lookout's Dispersal, or even Spell Pierce to protect your wincon casts from counters.
